I made this the first time for a potluck: fewer people than expected showed up, but I still went home with an empty dish. Quick, cheap, and easy- a good way to clean out the pantry. Peas would probably be good instead of edamame, too.
Ingredients:
3 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup shelled edamame
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 1/4 cups water, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked couscous
2 cups coarsely chopped green onions
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add edamame, red pepper, and garlic; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Stir in 1/2 cup water, basil, chickpeas, and tomatoes; simmer 15 minutes.
3. Add 1 3/4 cups water and salt; bring to a boil. Gradually stir in couscous.
4. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in onions and feta; toss well. Serve warm or refigerated.
